About this episode

Ben shares his experiences traveling through Europe with his mother and her friend, highlighting cultural differences and humorous moments.

Ever wondered what happens when you combine a month-long European vacation with two "typical" Chinese aunties (and your own mother)? In this episode of Uncle Chinese, Ben breaks his silence after a 30-day journey across Spain, France, and Italy with his mom and her best friend of 50 years. What started as a labor of love quickly turned into a masterclass in patience, cultural clashes, and the universal experience of traveling with parents. From their obsession with asking locals about their rent and retirement age to their strict "no-cheese" diet in Italy, we’re unpacking the funny and often frustrating habits of the older generation.
